THE RAILROAD.
Adjourned Meeting Yesterday
Morning.

Pursuant to adjournment, the railroad
meeting convened in the gentlemen's
parlor of the Driskill hotel at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. Col. Miller, of Bel
ton, occupied the chair, and Mr.. Mexican
acted as secretary.
Mr.. Fisher, of Georgetown, submitted,
for the committee on charter their re-
port, and the charter was read at length.
Mr.. Woodbridge moved 10 adopt the
charter, and Senator Glasscock seconded.
Mr.. Holman, however, opposed the adop-
ton of the charter, and suggested that
the name of each town on the proposed
line should be inserted. The charter, as
drawn, merely called for railroad line from
Austin to McGregor. He desires to have
the names of the towns through which the
road was to pass to be stated in the
charter.
Mr.. Castleman said he would oppose
the whole charter, unless each town repre-
sented in the meeting was named therein.
Judge Tyler said he wanted all the
towns named, and he therefore moved to
amend by naming Round Rock, George
town, Corn Hill, Salado, Bolton and Nc
Oregon.
The motion was adopted unanimously.
On motion DIR. w. H. Tobin, Messrs.
R. M. Castleman, A. P. Woodbridge,
Col. A. S. Fisher, of Georgetown, and
Judge Tyler, of Bolton, were named as a
committee to rewrite the charter of incor-
porating.
The amendment was adopted.
Judge Tyler then moved that Austin be
entitled to three members on the board of
directors, and that each of the other towns
along the proposed route be entitled to
one member. Carried.
Mr.. Holman moved that vote of thanks
be returned to Mr.. Lee, proprietor of the
= Driskil, for the use of his parlor and for
other courtesies extended.
The motion was carried, and the meet,
ing then adjourned

but was riding on 1t as an employee of the
road. He is employed on the yard en-
CINE at the depot in this city, and lived at
407 East Seventh street. His sad and un.
timely end is severe shock to his family,
as we'll as to his many friends here. The
engineer in charge of the engine was
hurt, but not seriously. The fireman re
ceived serious injuries, but his name nor
that of the engineer could not be obtained
last night.
TWO MORE ACCIDENTS.
AS the south bound Missouri Pacific
train was coming into the city last night
the fiange on one of the driving wheels
was broken off while the train was cross
ing the bridge switch, but entailed no
other serious injury beyond the damage
to the engine and delay of some time to
the train on It's way south.
While near Leander, the Austin & North
western train, on the way from Burnett to
Austin, last night, was delayed some time
by the trucks of the tender leaving the
track, but, so far as could be learned, no
casualty of serious nature resulted from
the accident.

constructed, together with the plans and
! specifications for the construction
OF same, and to report at the
earliest practicable moment the
result OF their examinations, with such
recommendations in regard thereto as
they deem should be adopted in order to
remove all doubt as to the absolute safety
and permanent stability of the said dome,
and after they have done this they shall
then make an examination of the entire
structure, and submit their report thereon.
Resolved, further, That Messrs. Lee
and McLauren, capitol commissioners.
and Gen. r. l.. Walker, superintendent
OF construction, are hereby instructed to
| render the said architects every facility
IN their power, giving them the use of the
plans, specifications, contracts and other
data and information appertaining to
their office, so as to enable the said
plete report.
Resolved, further, That the
public are hereby notified
that if any one has any charges to make
that any portion of the work thus far done
upon the new capitol building has not
been performed accord ng to the con-
tracts, plans and specifications, as agreed
to and adopted by the state and the con-
tractor up to the present date, the said
charges will be received by the governor
and considered, provided they are made
specifically and definitely, in writing, and
signed by the party or parties making
said charges.
There was some discussion among the
members of the board af er the adoption
of the resolution, all looking to a prompt
termination of the work.
Governor Lubbock moved that all
charges and complaints to be submitted
to the experts be sent to the governor,wh
would, if they are not frivolous, lay them
before the examiners.
The board then adjourned, and Gov.
Ross made the following order, verbally:
GAS the state is interested in the xpeuses
of this investigation we will let these gen
tlemen get to work" Turning to the
architects, he added: "Gentlemen, you
will look to General Walker and the COM
misssopers for rooms and such facilities
for your work as you require. If you
need any instructions from the board l
will call them together for the purpose.
The secretary of the board, Mr.. Dickln-
son, is requested to assist You. General
Walker and the commissioners will also
aid you with facilities for your investi-

Something to be Proud Of.

Mayor Robertson was shit all in heap"
as it were, yesterday afternoon. Sitting
in his office hard at work, and thinking
little of cares of municipal government
for the nonce, he was interrupted by a
messenger, who handed him letter with
package. The letter read as follows:
Hon. Jno. w. Robertson, Mayor
My Dear Sir-The officials who have been go
pleasantly connected with your administration ae
mayor of the city of Austin, have imposed on me
the agreeable duty of asking your acceptance of
the cane sent with this communication. We pre-
sent it es testimonial of our grateful appreciation
of the uniform c. urtesy that has marked your
official relations with us, as well as token of our
kindly and las ing friendship for you as man.
Very truly yours,
GEO. f. PENDEXTER.
The package sent with the note was an
elegant gold headed cane, bearing the in
scription, u. W. Robertson, from the Of
ficers OF His Administrations 8687.''
Col. Robertson was not expecting any
thing of the kind, and naturally was
somewhat taken aback. The following
letter of acknowledgment fully expresses
the colonel's sentiments:
AUSTIN, TEX, December 1, 1887

pleasure, acknowledge the receipt of your much

well as the gentlemen you represent, of my high
esteem, and of my appreciation of this token OF
kindly respect.

and courteous relations that have existed between
us continuously during the period of our official
intercourse and trust that these relations may
continue long after official duties are ended, and
the walks of private life resumed. Renewing NY

Rheumatism

Is undoubtedly caused by Tactic acid in
the blood. This acid attacks the fbrous
tissues, and causes the pains and aches in
the back, shoulders, knees, ankles, hips
and wrists. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla positive
cure for rheumatism. This medicine, by
its purifying action, neutralizes the acidity
of the blood, and also builds up and
strengthens the whole body.
